Character name : Annieina
Login: Davidnwn_In a quiet temple in Damara, many Tormtar gathered around a bed of one of their own.. The earpierceing screams of a new baby girl are heard…..
Many years later, the same screaming baby has turned into a screaming eighteen year old women..
"This is pointless!"
"You must concentrate Annie, your studies arnt progressing because you arnt wanting them to"
"I know you stupid eunuch!"
A balding presit of Torm sighs and leaves the room, leaving the rageing girl to herself.
Annie storms off to her bedroom in anger. Feeling sorry for herself, being born into a strict church and being forced into training to become like her "boring, fruitless, dull and probaly imputant" teachers. The training came at a young age after her parents where killed in a mission against some threat to the church.
She pulls a sword form a chest and starts to charpen it agasint a steel. The wepon training she did not mind, she felt more listened to with a sword in hand. However it was rare the Tormtar would let her practice swordplay with an actual sharp metal sword, it was wooden single sticks in her training.
For reasons unknown to her, the clergy where often uneasy around her, espcilly when things they could not (and she could not) explain happened around Annie. Little things. Mainly when she was annoyed or angry. Papers flying across the libary. Doors slamming when their was no phsycial contact... Annie belived that it was just a trick of her mind or a gust of wind.
After a few minutes boredem sunk into Annie, her attention span gave in and she leaves back into the temple.
"Well could you take her with you?" The high priest spoke with a deep voice to three men dressed to travel. Long cloaks and large packs where on their back. All with a longbow strapped over their shoulders.
"She is uncontrolable.. She resfuses to work, she is far to agressive in martial practice. She is incredably rude to her teachers."
The taller of the three travellers looked at the high priest with a smirk "And you want us to take her? Sounds like its going to be a riot"
"I think perhaps a bit of... the real world would do her good. Teach her a real life lesson. Nothing dangerous but... teach her that she wont last being so rude and uncompromising"
"Take her on the road as it where..."
Annie strides forward glaring.
"Im not being taken anyway by a bunch of strangers! By the sounds of it your trying to kill me! You Tormtar are all the same!"
"Dont speak to me like that!" Roared the preist " Remeber you are one of us!"
"I am not! And i will never be.. You know what! I am going with you turns to the travelers Get away from these boring old buggers! If they had their way id never leave this temple and the perverted stares!….. Who are you anyways!"
The taller traveler stares in slight disbelif at the girl.
" We are... windriders.. Followers of Shandukal.."
"You wander the roads then.... doesn't sound to intelligent. But still smarter than the idiots here."
A few weeks later walking around the icelace Annie strides slightly ahead of the Windriders. For the first time in her life she felts free. The ideas of these man where intriguing to her. Never before had she had the freedom to walk where she wanted, when she wanted. Perhaps she would not return to the temple. Perhaps she could stay with these men. It was obvious she would ever become a Cleric or a Paladin of such a strict god. She could just walk! Adventure! Enjoy herself.
"ARGHHHH!" A thud hit the ground behind Annie followed by another big shudder.
She spun around sword drawn. Two of her companions lay on the floor, the third was battling a large orc, blood flowing from his face. The orc growled and was about to strike a killing blow to the windrider when he suddenly burst into flames.. running off into the trees. The glowing light fading into the dense wood. Annie looked around at what caused the fire. Her face winced as she felt pain shoot through her hand, looking down fire still rippled from her fingertips. staring in amazement the windrider staggered up to her..
"Magic... You.. did not mean to do that?"
"I... I dont think.. so.. It just .. happened?"
"You... That was ..*sputters blood from his mouth" Magic. But your no... wizard..." *The man collapses forward, dead as Annies love for her old church.
Annieina turned back to the road, showinglittle compassion for her dead companions. Still waving her hands in front of herself trying to create magic again. She strode along the road around the edge of the lake heading towards the city ahead of her...... Her life of adventure had just begun._
